Cherry Krispie Treats with Dark Chocolate


You all should know by now my crazy obsession with Rice Krispie Treats. I don't make them very often because I can't control myself around them. It's a joke in our house, because my husband knows if I've made them there will be very few left. If any. It's that serious.

But, it's been a few months since I brought out a Krispie treat recipe (remember these Avalanche treatsthese Biscoff treats , and of course these Kitchen Sink treats).


Today, you can indulge on cherry flavored treats with a dark chocolate frosting. Well, only if you make them yourself, because mine are gone.

Very unique flavoring here and perfect for Valentines. I never would have thought to use flavored gelatin mix, you are a creative one. Keeping this recipe so I can enjoy some of these tasty treats at my house-yum!

Love that they're bright pink; that always makes it more fun to eat. Though, uh, I definitely have no problems eating a pan of "regular" krispies, either. My thighs can tell you that much.
